Mark Sandland, 28, has been caged for eight years after losing his temper and shaking five-week-old Aimee-Rose.

He claimed he suffered an epileptic fit and awoke to find his daughter underneath him at their flat in Church Road, St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex.

Prosecutors told the court during the case that Aimee-Rose was admitted to hospital on November 5 2012 with brain damage and bruises to her face, chest, abdomen and legs.

She died four days later.

The court heard investigators scouring through Sandland's mobile phone internet history showed he accessed a website offering tips on how to play popular game Assassins Creed III, just 20 minutes before 999 were called.

Police searching the flat found a PlayStation controller close to a TV that Sandland turned off to hide the fact he had been playing the games console.

Prosecutor Sally Howes QC, told the court: "It's the Crown's case that, frustrated by the distraction of Aimee-Rose screaming, the defendant picked her up and gripped her around her torso and shook her in a sudden loss of temper and loss of control.

"Despite his admission that the television was on that morning, by the time the ambulance crew arrived it had been switched off, thus covering up the fact he had been playing the game on his PlayStation."

“Frustrated with the game and with Aimee-Rose screaming, you lost your temper and you assaulted her”

Judge Mr Justice Sweeney told Sandland

Sandland was charged with murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter, on the grounds there was no intent in his actions.

Sentencing him at Hove Crown Court today, Judge Mr Justice Sweeney said that Sandland lied and tried to cover up his actions without showing any true remorse.

The judge told a sobbing Sandland: "Frustrated with the game and with Aimee-Rose screaming, you lost your temper and you assaulted her, gripping her torso hard and violently shaking her.

"Although it's impossible to identify the precise detail of what you did, the injuries that you caused Aimee-Rose speak for themselves."

He said Sandland abused his position of responsibility by making repeated false accounts to cover up his actions.

"Whilst you have no recollection now of the fatal incident, it's obvious that at the time you appreciated what you had done and in consequence lied and sought to cover up what had actually happened," he added.

Outside the court, police said they welcomed Sandland's manslaughter plea and have offered their "thoughts and sympathies" to the family of Aimee-Rose.

In a statement from Sandland's solicitor, Gerard Maye, said his client has offered his "depest regret".

It read: "No words can express the level of distress and anguish which he, his close family and friends have endured since his arrest.

"He would now, at this stage, hope that the media respect the family's privacy."
